Handbook of the Birds of the World Alive is a terrific online ornithological reference now available to all SI staff using the SI network (it can be regularly accessed via SIL’s A-Z List of eJournals & Databases) One can search bibliographic references, see recently described species & subspecies, check out ornithological news, generate your own field guide-style plates (there’s a video tutorial), and make a printable checklist. Though it is a typical IP-authenticated database (as most of our subscribed online resources are), a user ID and password is also required to sign-in.
